The tiled device may be, for example, a display tiled device or an antenna tiled device, but it is not limited thereto. It should be noted that the electronic device 100 may be any of the aforementioned arrangement but is not limited thereto.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic device 100 includes a substrate 110 and a plurality of light-emitting elements (including a first light-emitting element 120, a second light-emitting element 130 and a third light-emitting element 140) that are disposed on the substrate 110. It should be understood that although three light-emitting elements are shown in this embodiment, those skilled in the art may arbitrarily adjust the number of light-emitting elements as required. In this embodiment, the substrate may supply the same current to the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130, and the third light-emitting element 140, the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130 and the third light-emitting element 140 emit colored light. For example, the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130 and the third light-emitting element 140 each include a blue LED. A light-transmitting layer 124 is disposed on the first light-emitting element 120, a color conversion layer 134 is disposed on the second light-emitting element 130, and a color conversion layer 144 is disposed on the third light-emitting element 140, the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130 and the third light-emitting element 140 emit different colors of light. In other embodiments, the first light-emitting element 120 includes a blue LED, the second light-emitting element 130 includes a green LED, and the third light-emitting element 140 includes a red LED. In other embodiments, at least one of the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130 and the third light-emitting element 140 includes an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the first light-emitting element 120 includes a semiconductor layer 121, a light-emitting layer 122, a semiconductor layer 123, and a light-transmitting layer 124. In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 121 and the semiconductor layer 123 may include gallium nitride (GaN) or any other suitable semiconductor materials, but they are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 121 and the semiconductor layer 123 may include different types of semiconductor materials. For example, the semiconductor layer 121 may be a p-type semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer 123 may be an n-type semiconductor layer, but they are not limited thereto. The light-emitting layer 122 is disposed between the semiconductor layer 121 and the semiconductor layer 123. The light-emitting layer 122 may include, a homojunction, a heterojunction, a single-quantum well (SQW), a multiple-quantum well (MQW), any other suitable structure or a combination thereof, but it is not limited thereto. The light-emitting layer 122 may emit blue light, but it is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting layer 124 is disposed on the semiconductor layer 123, the light emitted by the light-emitting layer 122 may be irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting layer 124.

[0015] The semiconductor layer 121 may be connected to and/or electrically connected to the substrate 110 through an ohmic contact electrode 161 and a conductive pad 151. In this embodiment, the conductive pad 151 and the semiconductor layer 121 may completely cover the ohmic contact electrode 161. In other words, the conductive pad 151 may be in contact with the semiconductor layer 121, and the first light-emitting element 120 may be disposed on the substrate 110 more stably. For example, the ohmic contact electrode 161 may include indium tin oxide (ITO), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), gold beryllium alloy (AuBe), gold germanium Alloy (AuGe), chromium (Cr) or any other suitable conductive material.

[0016] In addition, the second light-emitting element 130 may have a structure similar to the first light-emitting element 120. For example, the second light-emitting element 130 includes a semiconductor layer 131, a light-emitting layer 132, a semiconductor layer 133, and a color conversion layer 134. In this embodiment, the light-emitting layer 132 disposed between the semiconductor layer 131 and the semiconductor layer 133 emits blue light, the color conversion layer 134 is disposed on the semiconductor layer 133 to convert the blue light into green light or red light. Similarly, the semiconductor layer 131 may be connected to and/or electrically connected to the substrate 110 through an ohmic contact electrode 162 and a conductive pad 152. The third light-emitting element 140 may have a structure similar to the second light-emitting element 130. For example, the third light-emitting element 140 includes a semiconductor layer 141, a light-emitting layer 142, a semiconductor layer 143 and/or a color conversion layer 144. In this embodiment, the color conversion layer 144 may convert blue light into the other of green light or red light (which is different from the light converted by the color conversion layer 134). Similarly, the semiconductor layer 141 may be connected to and/or electrically connected to the substrate 110 through an ohmic contact electrode 163 and a conductive pad 153.

[0017] In addition, in this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 123, the semiconductor layer 133 and the semiconductor layer 143 may be connected to and/or electrically connected to the substrate 110 through an ohmic contact electrode 180 and a conductive pad 170. In some embodiments, the dimensions of the ohmic contact electrode 180 and the conductive pad 170 in the horizontal direction (the X-Y plane) are substantially the same, but they are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the dimensions of the ohmic contact electrode 180 and the conductive pad 170 in the horizontal direction may be different from each other. In addition, in some embodiments, the ohmic contact electrode 180 may be omitted. That is, the conductive pad 170 may be in direct contact with the semiconductor layer 123, the semiconductor layer 133 and the semiconductor layer 143.

[0018] Fig. 2 is a top view illustrating the electronic device 100 shown in Fig. 1. When the substrate 110 supplies the same amount of current to the first light-emitting element 120, the second light-emitting element 130 and the third light-emitting element 140, the contact area (which is located on the X-Y plane) of the semiconductor layer and the ohmic contact electrode can affect the current density supplied to the light-emitting element. The contact area between the semiconductor layer and the ohmic contact electrode has a negative correlation with the current density of the light-emitting element. In other words, the larger the contact area between the semiconductor layer and the ohmic contact electrode, the lower the current density of the light-emitting element. In general, the light-emitting elements with higher light-emitting efficiency needs to a lower current density (that is, the area where the ohmic contact electrode is in contact with the semiconductor layer needs to be increased), but it is not limited thereto. The relationship between the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting element and the current density will be described in more detail below in accompany with Fig. 12.

[0019] For example, in this embodiment, the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element 120 is greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element 130, the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element 130 is greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the third light-emitting element 140. Therefore, the area of the ohmic contact electrode 161 connected to the first light-emitting element 120 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 121) is larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 162 connected to the second light-emitting element 130 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 131), and is even larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 163 that is connected to the third light-emitting element 140 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 141). As such, the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 161 to the area of the semiconductor layer 121 is different from the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 162 to the area of the semiconductor layer 131 and the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 163 to the area of the semiconductor layer 141. For example, the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 161 to the area of the semiconductor layer 121 is greater than the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 162 to the area of the semiconductor layer 131, which is even greater than the ratio of the area of the ohmic contact electrode 163 to the area of the semiconductor layer 141, but it is not limited thereto.

[0020] It should be understood that the above relationship between the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting element merely serves as an example. In fact, all the light-emitting elements described in the present disclosure may have different light-emitting efficiency from each other, and the aforementioned light-emitting efficiency may have arbitrary combination of magnitude relationships. For example, in some embodiments, the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element is less than the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element, and the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element is less than the light-emitting efficiency of the third light-emitting element. Those skilled in the art may adjust the area of the ohmic contact electrode in response to different combinations of magnitude relationships of light-emitting efficiency based on the embodiments of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, in the following embodiments, the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element is greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element, which is further greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the third light-emitting element, and it will not be repeated again.

[0021] Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the electronic device 200 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, and Fig. 4 is a top view illustrating the electronic device 200 shown in Fig. 3. It should be noted that the electronic device 200 may include the same or similar parts as the electronic device 100 shown in Fig. 1 and 2, and the aforementioned same or similar parts will be labeled with similar numerals. These parts will not be repeated again. For example, the electronic device 200 includes a substrate 210 and a first light-emitting element 220, a second light-emitting element 230, and a third light-emitting element 240 that are disposed on the substrate 210. Semiconductor layers 221, 231, and 241 of the light-emitting elements are connected to the substrate 210 via ohmic contact electrodes 261, 262, 263 and conductive pads 251, 252, 253.

[0022] The ohmic contact electrode 262 and the ohmic contact electrode 263 of the electronic device 200 in this embodiment may be divided into a plurality of separate portions. It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the area where the ohmic contact electrode 262 contacts the semiconductor layer 231 is a sum of the areas of all the portions of the ohmic contact electrode 262 on the X-Y plane. Similarly, the area where the ohmic contact electrode 263 contacts the semiconductor layer 241 is a sum of the areas of all the portions of the ohmic contact electrode 263 on the X-Y plane. By designing the ohmic contact electrode 262 and the ohmic contact electrode 263 into a plurality of separate parts, which can increase a flexibility or diversity in design and/or manufacturing.

[0023] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the electronic device in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the electronic device 300 in this embodiment may include the same or similar parts as the electronic device 100 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and the aforementioned same or similar parts will be labeled as similar numerals. These parts will not be described in detail again. For example, the electronic device 300 includes a substrate 310 and a first light-emitting element 320, a second light-emitting element 330 and a third light-emitting element 340 that are disposed on the substrate 310.

[0024] The conductive pad 351, the conductive pad 352 and/or the conductive pad 353 of the electronic device 300 in this embodiment are not completely covered by the ohmic contact electrode 361, the ohmic contact electrode 362 and/or the ohmic contact electrode 363, respectively. When viewed along a side direction (e.g. the X direction and/or the Y direction), the ohmic contact electrode 361, the ohmic contact electrode 362 and/or the ohmic contact electrode 363 are exposed from the conductive pad 351, the conductive pad 352 and the conductive pad 353, respectively. In this embodiment, the light-emitting efficiency of the third light-emitting element 340 is greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element 330, the light-emitting efficiency of the second light-emitting element 330 is greater than the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting element 320. Therefore, the area of the ohmic contact electrode 363 connected to the third light-emitting element 340 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 341) is larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 362 connected to the second light-emitting element 330 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 331), and the area of the ohmic contact electrode 363 connected to the third light-emitting element 340 on the X-Y plane is even larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 361 connected to the first light-emitting element 320 on the X-Y plane (contact with the semiconductor layer 321).

[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the area of the conductive pad 351 on the X-Y plane is larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 361 on the X-Y plane. The area of the conductive pad 352 on the X-Y plane is substantially equal to the area of the ohmic contact electrode 362 on the X-Y plane. The area of the conductive pad 353 on the X-Y plane is smaller than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 363 on the X-Y plane. The present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may arbitrarily adjust the area relationship between the conductive pad 351 and the ohmic contact electrode 361, between the conductive pad 352 and the ohmic contact electrode 362, or between the conductive pad 353 and the ohmic contact electrode 363 as required. Similarly, the area relationship between the conductive pad and the ohmic contact electrode described above may also adopt any combination of the conductive pad and the ohmic contact electrode described in the present disclosure, and it will not be described in detail below.

Semiconductor layers 421, 431 and 441 of the light-emitting elements are each connected to the substrate 410 via ohmic contact electrodes 461, 462, 463 and/or conductive pads 451, 452, 453. In addition, Semiconductor layers 423, 433, and 443 of the light-emitting elements are connected to the substrate 410 via ohmic contact electrodes 481, 482, 483 and/or conductive pads 471, 472, 473, respectively.

[0027] The first light-emitting element 420 of the electronic device 400 in this embodiment includes an ultraviolet LED, and a color conversion layer 424 can be disposed on the semiconductor layer 423 of the first light-emitting element 420. The light emitted by the light-emitting layer 422 is converted into blue light and irradiated to the outside. Similarly, the second light-emitting element 430 and the third light-emitting element 440 may include ultraviolet LEDs, and the second light-emitting element 430 and the third light-emitting element 440 are provided with a color conversion layer 434 and a color conversion layer 444, respectively. The light emitted from the light-emitting layer 432 and the light-emitting layer 442 is converted into green light or red light and irradiated to the outside. In addition, in this embodiment, the sizes of the ohmic contact electrode 481, the ohmic contact electrode 482 and the ohmic contact electrode 483 on the X-Y plane are not uniform. As shown in Fig. 6, the ohmic contact electrode 481, the ohmic contact electrode 482 and the ohmic contact electrode 483 may have an area relationship similar to that of the ohmic contact electrode 461, the ohmic contact electrode 462 and the ohmic contact electrode 463. That is, on the X-Y plane, the area of the ohmic contact electrode 481 is larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 482, the area of the ohmic contact electrode 482 is larger than the area of the ohmic contact electrode 483, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0028] Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the electronic device in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the electronic device 500 in this embodiment may include the same or similar parts as the electronic device 100 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.

For example, the electronic device 500 includes a substrate 510 and a first light-emitting element 520, a second light-emitting element 530 and a third light-emitting element 540 that are disposed on the substrate 510. Semiconductor layers 521, 531 and 541 of the light-emitting elements are each connected to the substrate 510 via ohmic contact electrodes 561, 562, 563 and conductive pads 551, 552, 553.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first light-emitting element 520 of the electronic device 500 includes a blue LED, the second light-emitting element 530 includes a green LED, and the third light-emitting element 540 includes a red LED.

The semiconductor layer 541 and the semiconductor layer 543 of the third light-emitting element 540 include aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) or any other suitable semiconductor material, but they are not limited thereto. Since the above light-emitting elements may directly emit blue, green or red light, it is not necessary to provide a light-transmitting layer and/or a color conversion layer in this embodiment, and thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the electronic device 500.

[0030] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the electronic device in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the electronic device 600 may include the same or similar parts as the electronic device 100 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.

For example, the electronic device 600 includes a substrate 611 and a first light-emitting element 620, a second light-emitting element 630, a third light-emitting element 640 that are disposed on the substrate 611. The first light-emitting element 620, the second light-emitting element 630 and the third light-emitting element 640 of the electronic device 600 in this embodiment may be covered by the protective layer 651 to reduce the chance that the light-emitting elements are damaged due to external force.

A protective layer 653 is disposed under the light-transmitting layer 661, the color conversion layer 662, the color conversion layer 663 and the light-shielding layer 670 for reducing the damage of the layers due to external forces.
